    How does Weapon Familiarity interact with Fighting Styles that just utilize “one handed melee weapons”? (e.g. Arcimous Primus, Red Sword)

    I’ve thought about that too.

    WF with all one handed weapons seems wrong and out of balance with the other fighting styles. But obviously you can’t just list three “weapons” either.

    I have generally read that to mean that it’s not possible to gain weapon familiarity in styles where the weapon choices are that broad. The points of similarity aren’t strong enough to be able to do that.

    The question becomes is it really that much difference between getting it in 3-4 weapons and all swords, or something? It’s unlikely that someone is going to use all those. Perhaps a limitation of “Choose no more than 3” would be added to the requirements.
